Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

I Have Seen Enough

I have seen enough and have to speak out
These health insurance companies making money off people
Is so disturbing and beyond words.
People with less money cannot keep up with these premiums,
Deductibles and co-pays.
A friend of mine couldn’t even get stitches recently 
Due to a high deductible due.
These companies have no conscience.
People are dying over these issues and losing their homes
I once saw a man in tears because of losing his home 
Unable to keep up with the health costs for his wife’s health issues.
And look what is happening to our Veterans!
It goes on and on and costs keep going up and up.
I have started to take action, speaking out.
           --- I hope more people do too ---

M. L. Kiser July 18, 2017 at 11:33 AM I don't believe there is any plan to replace the current one and I don't believe they've ever had one. I, too, speak out; letters, emails and petitions daily; still the allegedly, educated people in Washington D.C., remain so incompetent! You've penned a powerful message. Heidi Sands July 18, 2017 at 12:41 PM Thank you. Congratulations for speaking out . That really makes my day to hear because the change is going to come from uniting together about this. I appreciate your visit and your efforts :)

Chris Green July 18, 2017 at 9:26 AM It is all a shame and out of control. I will keep my opinions to myself on this subject because I believe there is a whole lot more to it than meets the eye. Nicely expressed my friend. Heidi Sands July 18, 2017 at 9:52 AM Thank you so much Chris :) And yes, I agree, much more to it than meets the eye.

Eileen Manassian July 18, 2017 at 8:58 AM So sad that those who need help the most are those who are kept from getting it. Good for you, Heidi. All the more power to you. Heidi Sands July 18, 2017 at 9:52 AM Yes it is very sad, Eileen. Thank you.

Mike Gentile July 18, 2017 at 7:34 AM Heidi, I am in total agreement, Healthcare for profit is unconscionable. Thank you for speaking out. It affects all of us. Heidi Sands July 18, 2017 at 7:41 AM Thank you Mike. Yes, it does impact everyone .

Joseph May July 18, 2017 at 7:23 AM Health insurance companies are not concerned about people, and now the politicians want to make it worse by repealing Obamacare..it's sad.. Heidi Sands July 18, 2017 at 7:41 AM Thank you Joseph :)
